Was lucky enough to see them at the Greek Theater in Berkeley in the early Eighties. Superb live band.

One of my favorite Kinks' tunes:

and get the band together again. Both still have a lot going on: Ray's solo shows are really good and Dave is touring later this year. But they have one of the most dysfunctional relationships ever--can't see em kissing and making up anytime soon. Our loss, unfortunately!
